#### The syngo® Software Architecture:
The syngo® Suite for Oncology Workspace focused software utilizes the proprietary syngo® software architecture design provides a method of delivering customized software applications based on the modality as clinically supporting packages. From these applications SIEMENS utilizes, as part of the Oncology clinical focus package, multiple applications for patient set-up and position verification, treatment localization, treatment verification, portal imaging as well as data processing, image reformatting, display and printing. The currently cleared COHERENCE™ and syngo® products also include an array of image-oriented software tools, support for DICOM connectivity and the Siemens Remote Service option.
Refer to Section 11- Description, for the Product and Sub-System Requirements Specifications regarding these specific requirements.
#### General Safety and Effectiveness:
The device labeling contains instructions for use and any necessary cautions and warnings, to provide for safe and effective use of the device.
Risk management is ensured via a risk analysis, which is used to identify potential hazards and mitigations. These potential hazards are controlled by software means, user instructions, verification of requirements and validation of the clinical workflow to ensure that the product meets its intended uses. To minimize electrical, mechanical and radiation hazards, SIEMENS adheres to recognized and established industry practice and relevant international standards.
Refer to Section 21 for the Risk Management documentation.
#### Intended Use:
The intended use of the SIEMENS branded ARTISTE™. ONCOR™ and PRIMUS™ family of linear accelerator systems is to deliver X-ray photon and electron radiation for the therapeutic treatment of cancer.
The linear accelerator systems are high-dose and high-dose rate medical linear accelerators optimized for 3D conformal radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and precision stereotactic applications. The stereotactic applications may include single-session radiosurgery, fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy, or fractionated stereotactic intensity modulated radiation therapy for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in the head and body where radiation therapy is indicated.

workspaces also permit patient data management, patient selection/setup, patient positioning verification, treatment planning, treatment delivery/verification, and treatment recording.
The syngo@RT Therapist Connect Workspace v4.2, contains software applications that permits patient selection/setup, patient positioning verification, treatment delivery/verification, and treatment recording. The syngo® RT Therapist Connect Workspace v4.2, can be interfaced with third party devices conforming to the DICOM Standard.
The syngo® RT Oncologist Workspace v4.2 permits localization, contouring, segmentation, image calibration, and review of treatment plan parameters. In addition, it includes tools and administrative functions to aid in the diagnosis, staging, and prescription of radiation therapy.
#### Substantial Equivalence:
The Substantial Equivalence comparison chart in Section 12 demonstrates the comparison of the technological characteristics of the new features and their currently cleared predicate devices.
The new features for the syngo® RTT Connect Workspace v4.2, the rebranding and updating of the syngo® RT Oncologist v4.2 and the modifications to the Linear Accelerator portal imaging system, does not change the intended use of the original syngo® RT Therapist or Oncologist Workspaces or the Siemens branded Linear Accelerator Systems.
#### Bench Testing:
Bench testing in the form of Unit, Sub-System Integration (SSIT), and System Integration (SIT) testing was performed to evaluate the performance and functionality of the new feature and software updates. All testable requirements in the Engineering Requirements Specifications (ERS) keys, Sub-System Requirements Specifications (SSRS) keys, and the Risk Management Hazard keys have been successfully verified and traced in accordance with the Siemens product development (lifecycle) process (PDP).
The software verification and regression testing has been performed successfully to meet their previously determined acceptance criteria as stated in the Test Plans.
#### Non-Clinical Test Results:
Validation of the new features for syngo® RT Therapist Connect Workspace, v4.2 and Oncologist v4.2 has been performed at the System test (ST) level on production prototype devices by appropriately trained and knowledgeable test personnel. System level validation and regression testing has been performed successfully, demonstrating that the software meets the acceptance criteria as noted in the system test plans.
